The Everyday Wallet

The Everyday Wallet is a modern, stylish wallet designed for magicians to perform seamless card-to-wallet and envelope-to-wallet effects. Unlike traditional gimmicked wallets, it features a clever two-layer design that eliminates the need for slides, making it practical for everyday use. Spectators see a completely ordinary wallet, but the magician can effortlessly vanish a card or small object (like a ring or coin) into it. The wallet also includes compartments for envelopes, allowing for sealed envelope routines. This is a close-up magic tool that blends practicality with performance, perfect for walk-around or table magic.

Effect

The Everyday Wallet is a practical, modern-looking wallet designed for magicians who perform card-to-wallet and envelope-to-wallet effects. To the audience, it appears as an ordinary wallet, making the sudden appearance of a selected card or object inside it seem impossible. The effect is clean, with no visible moves or suspicious handling, leaving spectators baffled as to how the card or object ended up inside the wallet.

Full Details

The Everyday Wallet features a dual-layer design, eliminating the need for slides or additional gimmicks. A card can be palmed and secretly inserted between the two layers, where it remains hidden until the magician reveals it. The wallet also includes slots for credit cards, cash, and envelopes, making it functional for everyday use. Unlike older card-to-wallet gimmicks, this wallet has a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic, avoiding the outdated "granddad’s wallet" look.

One key advantage is its ability to handle both card-to-wallet and envelope-to-wallet effects. Envelopes can be prepared in advance with rubber cement, allowing objects like rings or coins to be sealed inside during performance. The wallet’s design ensures smooth, natural handling, reducing the risk of detection.

Who Should Consider the Trick

This wallet is ideal for magicians who:

  • Perform close-up or parlor magic.
  • Want a practical, everyday-carry wallet that doubles as a magic prop.
  • Prefer clean, self-working methods with minimal sleight of hand.
  • Appreciate modern aesthetics in their props.

It’s especially useful for performers who dislike bulky or outdated-looking gimmicks, as the Everyday Wallet blends seamlessly into real-world use.

Difficulty

The Everyday Wallet is relatively easy to use, making it accessible to magicians of all skill levels. The method relies more on the wallet’s design than advanced sleight of hand, though basic palming skills will enhance the effect. The envelope feature requires minor preparation (applying rubber cement), but the handling is straightforward once set up.

What Magicians Say

  • SaturnMagicShop praised the wallet’s practicality, calling it "one of the most boring releases" in appearance but "revolutionary" in functionality. They highlighted its modern design and versatility, noting it sold well at conventions.
  • A customer, Brandon, described it as "the best wallet he’s had for the price," emphasizing its usability beyond magic performances.
  • The wallet’s ability to perform both card and envelope steals without slides was noted as a significant improvement over older methods.

The Everyday Wallet is a well-received tool that combines practicality with strong magical utility, making it a worthwhile addition to a magician’s repertoire.

What people are saying about The Everyday Wallet

SaturnMagicShop says...

The Everyday Wallet is just a boring old everyday wallet that has the ability to vanish cards effortlessly. It's our most boring release at Blackpool, but also one I'm most excited about because it's so practical.
